 QU'ELLAR DRUU'GIIRQu'ellar Druu'giir has a direct influence over other houses in the city due to the fact the clan controls nearly all the powerful magic that occurs in Au Shinduago, as well as most of the external trade with the surface. Slavery is its second biggest import and nearly all the workers and slaves of the city were brought in by the powerful magics of Druu'giir sorcerers. The clan is dominated by male arcanists and can quickly augment its large standing army by hiring the Barra Vla'rinnyn or another mercenary band if necessary. Allied to numerous smaller houses, its influence is at times subtle and yet is felt by all others within the city. The ultimate fear inspired by the house's reputation is the rumor that the house arcanists can employ gate spells to bring their quickly-reinforced armies to virtually any house, any room, in any city! The fortress like estate itself is divided into an upper and lower area. The upper fortress is a massive stalactite of a rich dark stone material that hangs from the overhead cavern ceiling. It is ornately carved with balconies and walk ways that circle the main structure. Carved into the face of the structure are arcane and infernal glyphs. It is rumored that no spells can penetrate its walls except those of its own nobles. Below this lies the lower estate, its a sprawling one level structure that houses the soldiers and slaves of the house as well as the meeting area for guests and visitors. It is within this area that the magical lift ring is found, capable of carrying people and goods up to the hanging fortress above. Outside of this building, the grounds surrounding it are beautifully worked with sculptures and twisting pathways. Mushroom gardens and sprawling creeper vines finish off the decorations. From without.. the whole scene looks like a massive spike hanging over a beautiful garden, a point perhaps made by design to make a subtle statement. Those who seek entry must first advance to the massive gates at the southern end of the fortress grounds. Guards stationed there will then handle each supplicant in turn.

Joarr approached the structure, so far from the land he had known. His eyes scanned it as he shook his head. "Not secure enough... derelict," he said and readied his field kit, the supplies he had running somewhat low. "Need to restock... bits of iron... bits of steel. Make a thing to freeze a meal..." The traits of undeath were beginning to be taken note of; he had not eaten once since his death, he did not grow parched of thirst, and Joarr noticed that his bones and muscle did not tire at all. He passed dangerously close to a colony of Illithid on the way, and they didn't even notice his thoughts... I suppose I could get very used to this...

Out of boredom, Joarr began to survey the surrounding area, taking note of places to bottleneck intruders and whatnot. He observed the inhabitants as well, though mostly he got glares and insults. Someone thought it'd be funny to stab him in the back as well... but to their surprise, he didn't even notice the knife in his shoulder until it was pointed out.

-Val'atar looked out of one of the windows carved into the side of the hanging stalactite that Qu'ellar Duu'giir claimed. The structure itself was moist on the outside with numerous smaller stalagmites below in the carved garden. Below, near the outer wall, he observed a strange looking non-drow individual that seemed to be watching everyone around him. Interest arose within Val'atar and he called for a guard to go and question the being.-

Maslynn slowly wandered through the streets of Au Shinduago . It had taken time, but she had managed to find a scroll containing a teleportation spell to get her here.
She saw a familiar man as she walked. Joarr, the ex-weapons master of her current house, if she recalled. She paid him little mind, instead making her way to the Druu'giir compound gate. Someone would notice her there. She was quite interested to know what Qu'ellar Druu'giir had being doing since she left.

Two shadowed figures would step from the walls to either side of the gate and question of her intent within the Druu'giir Qu'ellar-

Maslynn looked slowly from one shadow to the other, then focused her eyes straight ahead once more, chin held high.
"I wish to speak with your master," she said.

-one of the shadowed guards nods and steps back.. vanishing once again. Several moments later, the large gate splits in two and begins to spear open, allowing her access to the garden grounds. The second shadowy guard reappears just inside the wall and moves towards her-
"Follow me.. you are expected Assassin."
-the guard leads her to a fungus garden within the grounds, indicating a raised platform within the fungus trees. On the platform stood Val'atar.. smiling as he beconed her towards him-
